Kohli is averaging 58 in ODI's with 47 hundreds and 67 half centuries. That's just insane.
He couldn't buy a run a while back and now he's in sublime form.

Jeez India have a scary batting line-up.
When Sharma has chilli, like today, he's the best batter on the planet by a mile.
Ya. Doesn’t seem to do it too often anymore but on his day he is class.

Can’t forget there has only ever been 10 ODI double centuries in history and he has three of them!!

What’s scary is that Shubman Gill is even better and will have at least 5 doubles before he retires.

Don’t forget Prithvi Shaw who is immensely talented as well.

Shaw was The Chosen One as he was from Mumbai and Gill was from up north.
Theres no doubting Shaw's incredible talent. If he grinds away he'll eventually get into that side, may take a few years. He had his early chance and threw it away and now has to do the hard yards. I've watched Shaw live when he was u19, he was different gravy, but I always preferred Gill, but Shaw has better hands. Truly gifted.
You can't just assume Gill will tick off double hundreds, they're massively elusive, look at Kallis.

And India will undoubtedly produce another child prodigy imminently. It's a production line. There's that other 6 year old you tube sensation who's probably about 10 now.

Got a feeling by mid November there will be a debate in Australia about who is struggling more, cricket or rugby union.

I don't think their batting lineup can match the big guns at this very moment
